Revision info
There are (at least) two separate revisions of this adapter.
Revision 1 was branded as a 500mW adapter and includes a 2dBi antenna.
- The maximum EIRP with the included antenna is approximately 500mW.
- "JJ24UA Ver C 080710" is silkscreened on this board. It may be manufactured by JJPlus.
- The date code on the below Rev1 unit is 0843 (October 2008).
- The MAC of this particular unit is prefixed with 00:C0:CA:1F.
- Additional noted units
Revision 2 is branded as a 1W adapter and includes a 5dBi antenna.
- The maximum EIRP with the included antenna is approximately 1W.
- Accton would seem to be the manufacturer (presumably w/ an internal model of WUS2100-H).
- "P/N:141000000019W REV:R01" is silkscreened on the board.
- The date code on the below Rev2 unit is 1015 (April 2010).
- The MAC of this particular unit is prefixed with 00:C0:CA:40.
- Would appear to be using an RFIC AP1046 PAM
An intermediate Accton / AWB manufactured unit (Rev1.5, to stick with the 1 for green and 2 for blue)
- visible on this YouTube video may have also been sold.
The model noted on the board's label is WUS2100-3895 (or something like that).
- The date code on the board is 0949 (December 2009).
- The MAC on the unit is prefixed with 00:C0:CA:3E.
